Algeria v Egypt (Final)

Very little information is available on the results so far apart from the scores. Algeria certainly outplayed Libya on day one. Without knowing the make up of the team I suspect that a number of France-based players were selected, making it a tough team.
Egypt won well against a travel-lagged Mauritanian side and I feel will struggle against the Algerians.
Prediction: Algeria by 25 points
Playoff 3rd-4th
Mauritania v Libya

Mauritania will have overcome the travel lag it would have experienced in their first game. I suspect they will have too much skill and strength for the Libyans.
Prediction: Mauritania by 20 points.
Teams for all sides not available
That was a better game... But we still think that we were able to play the final if not jetlagged...
